This is a first ... a quilted bug
 

I just quilted a bug.

I don't mean that I made a design of a bug with needle and thread.

I mean I quilted OVER a REAL bug!!!

Here I am quilting away ... a bug lands on my quilt just in front of the needle and ZIP ... he's stitched in the ditch. At least it was a small bug, so not a lot of "bug juice".

Stupid bug.

:shock:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"he's stitched in the ditch"....love it!

Oh ick! Thank goodness he wasn't too juicy.

YuK!!KY ;)

That was good for a giggle...

What was the last thing that went through his mind? Daaa, that would have been a needle. Sorry, that was bad!!! Sometimes I just can't help myself.

I used to have a whole collection of "pinned" bugs, but I've never put a needle through one! And definitely not on my quilt! LOL!

I'm laughing myself silly. Stupid bug. LOL

LOL too funny!!!!!!
My bird is always around me when I'm sewing, one day I'm sure I will sew her tail feathers, but a bug landing just in the right spot at the right time, priceless LOL

:D Must have been the quilt police out to bug ya :D

Both of these! Lol

LOL. I say a similar thing about the bugs that splat on my windshield!

Funny:D I'm always afraid I will stitch my cat's tail! He loves to be right in the way and refuses to move.

Ugh! That would bug me.

Made me laugh!!! I quilted a sage bug between the backing (pale yellow) and batting on a quilt - didn't find out until I was checking the back before I took the quilt off my frame!!! Of course, he was in the middle of a queen sized quilt and there was no way I was going to take out that much quilting to fish him out! Smacked him with a hammer a few times and prayed he would become dust after a few months and washings!

Agreed! This comment made me LOL

Thanks for a good laugh!

Oh my!! I know I would have done exactly the same thing, and I know some bad words would have accompanied the hammer strokes!!

Bet he won't do that again! LOL

That's too funny! When I taught 4H, I had one girl who always sewed a dead flea in everything she made. Strange.

Super ickkkkkkkkkk

That would have been too disturbing for me. What did her parents think about her doing this and my goodness why?

too funny!! Reminds me of the spider that crawled over a quilt while I was sewing. Grabbed my little bug sucker machine and bye bye spider. Everyone has one of these, right?

I hate those suicidal bugs. One drowned itself in my ice tea last week.

Hahaha who would have ever thought that could happen?

Just tell everyone it's a computerized quilt and you forgot to debug it first.

I got a good chuckle out of this thread. Thanks!!

From now on I am going to check all my quilts before, during and after they get off the LA.

awww, ain't that sweet? he thought your quilt was to die for.

Oh this is a fun thread!

Mom didn't care. Have to pick your battle. It was dead after all. Just wondering how many fleas they had in their house.

Glad you worked out (in) your bug.......LOL

Yucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL....you made my day!

Woops! We all have our firsts and I guess this is your claim to fame!

What are the chances you could do that again??

This is a Bugs life. LOL

Hope this won't start a new trend in quilting!! Yikes!!!

Now that's wild. Hope it didn't stain your quilt.
